weathafella Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I did 28/113 in California on 6/9/06 skiing at Mammoth in the morning and visiting Death Valley in the afternoon. We should get Kevin to run the Badwater 146. 146 miles from the floor of Death Valley to the top of Mount Whitney. I climbed Whitney in August of 1982. We had intermittent light snow at the summit.

ORH_wxman Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Still 40" of ice on the Tanana River in Alaska: http://www.nenanaakiceclassic.com/conditions.htm They've been epically cold. Fairbanks just had their coldest April on record...and May isn't doing much better at -14F departure on the month through 6 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 They've been epically cold. Fairbanks just had their coldest April on record...and May isn't doing much better at -14F departure on the month through 6 days. And the river gained ice since the last measurement, in May no doubt. The local's must have done a Homer Simpson doh when they heard that. This is the latest ice break-up since they started keeping records in 1989. It's going to be a short summer for most of the state if this cold keep up much longer into late spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The rain should help the tree's around here to leaf out. You're not leafed out?!? Central VT is leafed out already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Nice sunrise. P. Cloudy, only got to 50 overnight. I hope the rain comes to full fruition out here. NW MA and S. VT were sort of precip screw zones all winter so do we continue that trend into the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Radar looks like a nice moisture feed developing on SE flow, riding the low level jet. As that jet Max lifts northeast, should bring some nice rains to CT...basin averages of. 25<.5" look decent based on obs to the SW and anticipating a slight decrease in intensity the further NE one goes. Congrats to the lawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 no kidding. wow. 2"+ now around nyc. Beware the ULL this time of year. I wasn't sure this one would have the juice to get the fire hose going but it certainly does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Beware the ULL this time of year. I wasn't sure this one would have the juice to get the fire hose going but it certainly does. I made the comment yesterday that this felt like it would have a banded/convective type look to it rather than a broad brush rainfall. Looks to be panning out that way for now. Sun is breaking out here in Wrentham right now. Was foggy this AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hey hey what do you know... Light Rain being reported at BDR and HVN. 5 straight hours of RN+ obs out of KNYC...1.28" last 6 hours. That's a good soaking rain with 0.15-0.3" per hour rates observed. Better than getting it all in like a 90 minute convective shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Wait...that's rain on radar? I just assumed it was a biblical dust storm showing up. Random question...anyone have experience with a ductless heating/cooling system? Considering getting one, since my brother in law works at an appliance store and can do installation for free, which is virtually half the cost. Still, at $1600 a unit, it's pricy. We could probably only afford to get one for the kitchen/DR/LR right now. Upstairs bedrooms would have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
